and sometimes one cat just takes a special interest in you..as if to say "I really like you!!!... (Larry Stangler)

Even the dogs welcome you & act like they've known you forever...be prepared when visiting our home of Obnoxiously friendly pets!!!!!

Our house has a revolving door and we really like it that way..We live in a modest sized ranch style home, where Carol is a pet groomer, and her business "Claws and Paws Pet Grooming" is located in our basement. She is usually available to answer any phone inquiries. Please feel free to call if we failed to answer any of your questions somewhere here in this site. Carol shows the cats on the weekends if she's not working. I take the cats to the shows to help her out when she must work on Saturday. Carol is the person you'll want to talk to if you call, as I only know what I'm told. (LOL) I work for the Dept. of Agriculure in the Computer Field, Monday thru Friday and and teaching Carol to update this site herself. If you see any mistakes, please let us know.

Our boys, used for breeding,(Studs), live mainly in separate quarters, 1) to reduce their need to spray, and 2) to discourage any accidental breedings. They each have their own 4x5x3 space which includes various shelves, a scratching post and their favorite bed and/or blanket. They still spray, but it is localized to their space, making clean up, much easier. They are however, allowed to roam their room, one at a time, while we clean litter pans and cages. Since they will spray, as soon as they are allowed to roam, each boy has been taught to wear "stud pants". These are the same pants a female dog in heat would wear to avoid bleeding on her owners rug, furniture etc., except we put a maxi pad in theirs (it absorbs the best). We know they look funny, but they don't seem to mind. And we don't have male cat urine on our belongings and our house doesn't stink!!!!!

Neutered-no longer used for breeding males-are sometimes available. We wait for their hormones to subside, then put them up for adoption at a reduced price. Neutered adult males are usually best suited to a home where they are the only cat. They can sometimes be cat aggressive as they were a breeding "stud" and we do not want your existing kitty to feel threatened or be hurt in any way. There are exceptions and not all neutered males must live alone forever. Given time to adjust and all male hormones to have subsided completely, you can most likely bring in another kitty. Spraying is pretty much elimated once they leave the existing environment. They will have no competition and no in-tact (unspayed) females to attract. They make wonderful loving pets and will give you lots of joy for a long time to come. They adjust very well and very quickly when lavished with love & affection. Don't overlook an adult male, from anyone, a breeder or a rescue group, you'd be passing up an excellent pet.

Our Girls used for breeding (Queens), are allowed free access to anywhere in the house that their little hearts desire, until they come into season. Then, they are confined to a 6x5x4 inclosure. It serves multiple purposes. Some girls in season spray as badly as boys, only they don't just hit the vertical surfaces, (joy, joy). So, they spend that time in a cage. (usually 2wks) They also call (meow loudly.... a lot) to let the boys know they are ready to breed. And when one girl comes into season, most all the others do too...So, none of the girls are ever alone. They always have each other. We want to keep them as far from the boys as possible, or the boys start to call back. This can become very nerve racking. We also cage moms 2 weeks prior to delivery of her kittens. These cages provide a quiet, safe place for them to have their kittens and ample space for mom to stretch her legs. They also aid us in knowing exactly where these babies will be born..It's not pleasent to wake up to the sound of newborns crying, and you trying to locate where mom put them, or worse yet, finding cold, dead kittens all over the house, cause the mom couldn't find a safe hiding place to have them, and when nature calls, they must be delivered. Believe me, it's not a pleasant experience when this happens...Caging is best during this time. We set them up with curtains, a bed, a shelf, a litter pan, a heating pad (set on the lowest setting-and under thick bedding and make it as private as that particular mother to wants. Kinda like a den. Privacy is very important to most cats. And we don't want them feeling uncomfortable during this time. The cages also insure that the kittens stay in a safe, warm environment. They are usually big enough and at a comfortable enough height for us also, incase our assistance is wanted or needed.

spayed-no longer used for breeding females are sometimes available for adoption. They, like the males, deserve to be "just a pet" and no longer a mom. We don't like giving up our girls after x # of years with us, but since we feel that a home of few is better than a home with many, we will place our girls in approved homes at a reduced price. Spayed girls never come into season again, never spray again...They can walk into a new home and you'd never know they didn't live there forever. Again, never pass up the opportunity to own an adult female (or male) you won't be sorry....Promise...

Our kittens stay in the kittening cage with mom until they are old enough to eat on their own and have the ability to use the litter pan. During this time, they are handled many times. We weigh them daily for the first few days to make sure they are getting the proper amount of food and this helps get them used to all of our scents, being pet, being held, having toenails cut, having their ears cleaned, and having their teeth looked at. Then they are given supervised running around time in the bedroom, and no other cats but mom are present. Reno (the great dane) was also allowed to be there as he was fantastic with them. He helped raise every new litter we had. Since the mom cats all loved him, this arrangement worked well. Reno is surely missed.
